Crazier Than Glenn Close | Cruella Review

If the movie's insanity doesn't scare you, no evil thing will

Personally I was a bit on the fence about seeing this film but after watching this review I might consider giving it a watch. I do think the biggest issue with this film is that it just tries too hard to connect itself to the original 101 Dalmatians that there are parts that it’s hard to judge the film on its own. Also one thing I will say is that it is definitely going to be interesting to see people comparing this to the 1996 live action 101 Dalmatians movie. Personally I do think that film is an enjoyable remake and while not as good as the the original but does stay true to the original and is debatably better than most of the Disney live action remakes nowadays. Also say what you will about that film but there is no denying that Glenn Close provided a fantastic performance as Cruella De Vil in that film, capturing the same level of over the top insanity that the original film had. Also it will be interesting to see people debate on who is the superior live action version of Cruella De Vil, Emma Stone or Glenn Close. (Also Mat if you see this comment I was wondering did you see Cruella in theaters or did you pay the premier access fee and watched it on Disney+?)

Someone added Who Let the Dogs out to the YOU KNOW WHAT scene at the start. Maybe the funniest thing that will come out in 2021. So I'm glad the film exists for that at least.

To be honest, to my surprise, I thought Cruella was one of the better Disney live action remakes out there and far better than what Disney handled with Maleficent. If you want to know my connection with 101 Dalmatians, I don’t particularly grew up with the animated classic that much. Sure it a great classic, but not one of my favorite Disney animated films. Though I enjoy 1996 remake film starring Glenn Close as I thought it was one of the better ones than what Disney brought out recently like Lion King and Mulan remake. 102 Dalmatians however was mediocre since it doesn’t have connection to the classic at all. For Cruella, I thought it was gonna be bad after having a huge dislikes of what Disney has done recently, but I end up finding it above average. Yeah the screenplay is the weakest of the whole movie and maybe polarizing too with the choices they go with along plot twist that left me dumbfounded with the direction they went with. I also didn’t like the CGI dogs, distracting soundtrack, and the overlong length of this film, but the rest were good. I thought the performances, costumes, production design, cinematography, makeup, and the direction made by the director who made I Tonya help make this film enjoyable. It far from good in my opinion, but at least it certainly is one of the better Disney remakes/prequel out there.

The bit with the dogs and the mother. That scene. Someone played Who Let the Dogs Out as they jump. Amazing.

It’s funny that what people were expecting to be one of the worst/weakest of the Disney Live Action remakes, actually turns out to be one of the better ones

Well, at least it's a step-up from Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Just hope they don't make the same mistake as making a sequel to profit off the success of the predecessor as the latter.
